  1. There is a negative association bettween the presence of the couvade in a society and the frequency of male homosexual behavior (58).Gray, J. Patrick - Institutionalized male transvestism, the couvade, and homosexual behavior, 1984 - 2 Variables

    This study employs a psychological theory and builds on the holocultural literature on male homosexuality. Two hypotheses relating homosexual behavior among men to social constructs for sexuality (the couvade, male transvestism) are derived from a study by Munroe (1980). The hypotheses are tested and supported in a sample of cultures drawn from Munroe's codes and the Human Relations Area Files.

  2. "Societies that maximize sex distinctions will not have institutionalized male transvestism; conversely, societies that make minimum use of sex as a discriminating factor in prescribing behavior and membership will have institutionalized male transvestism" (88)Munroe, Robert L. - Institutionalized male transvestism and sex distinctions, 1969 - 2 Variables

    This study attempts to replicate earlier findings regarding transvestism using a larger sample and a different index of sex distinctions. It is asserted that societies that maximize sex distinctions will not have institutionalized male transvestism.

  3. There will be a negative association between male transvestism and the couvade (52).Munroe, Robert L. - Male transvestism and the couvade: a psycho-cultural analysis, 1980 - 2 Variables

    This article examines institutionalized male transvestism and the couvade, finding that they are mutually exclusive in a cross-cultural sample. Possible explanations for the negative association between male transvestism and the couvade (e.g. sex-identity differentiation and confusion) are discussed.

  4. "There should be an observed correlation between a relatively high prevalence of homosexuality and the presence of an institutionalized police force, but this correlation should disappear once degree of father contact is introduced as a control" (264).Carroll, Michael P. - Freud on homosexuality and the super-ego: some cross-cultural tests, 1978 - 3 Variables

    This study tests predictions of homosexuality. Results suggest that homosexuality is significantly associated with father-son contact.

  5. Greater male contribution to subsistence economy will be positively associated with male transvestism (308).Munroe, Robert L. - Male transvestism and subsistence economy, 1977 - 2 Variables

    This study examines the theory that transvestism is a way for boys to escape the male role. Munroe and Munroe use male contribution to subsistence as a new measure of a "rigorous male role." Findings suggest an association between male predominance in subsistence and presence of transvestism.

  6. Higher levels of social stratification will increase the probability of observing male homosexual preference in the eHRAF sample even when controlling for linguistic-cultural relationships (i.e. accounting for Galton's problem using linguistic data).Barthes, Julien - Male Homosexual Preference: Where, When, Why?, 2015 - 2 Variables

    Authors investigate the prevalence of male homosexual preference (MHP) cross-culturally. They employ four models to test the link between level of social stratification and the probability of observing male homosexual preference (MHP). Authors believe that this link supports the hypergyny hypothesis, which proposes that increased social stratification allows for some sort of factor that improves functional female fertility, perhaps through marriage to men of higher social classes. This would thereby allow more access to resources and consequently the ability to support a greater number of more reproductively-successful offspring. Authors do not make a causal link, however; rather, social stratification may be associated with a yet-undetermined pleiotropic factor that is somehow positive despite its cost on functional male fertility.

  8. Higher levels of social stratification will increase the probability of observing male homosexual preference in the Ethnographic Atlas sample even when accounting for geographic-cultural phylogeny (i.e. controlling for Galton's problem using geographic data).Barthes, Julien - Male Homosexual Preference: Where, When, Why?, 2015 - 2 Variables

  9. Male parental certainty will be positively associated with inheritance of movable property (95, 97).Wolfe, Linda D. - Comment on gaulin and schlegel (1980), 1981 - 2 Variables

    This comment suggests methodological flaws in Gaulin and Schlegel’s (1980) article on male parental certainty and investment practices. The authors take issue with multiple coding decisions and suggest that the findings from the 1980 study ought to be rejected; data does not support a positive association between male parental certainty and investment practices.
